While celebrating this year’s 200 anniversary of Antoni Maria Klaret’s birth, it is worthwhile to take a fresh look at the life of this zealous Spaniard who was totally devoted to service of the Church. The most important quality of his ministry was missionary work – preaching the Gospel of Jesus. It was not an easy work to do because Antoni M. Klaret, as a young priest, experienced the impact of atrocities committed during the war with Napoleon’s army in his country. After four years of his work as a priest, he went to Rome in order to follow into missionary work. Yet the dispensation of Providence was different. He comes back to his mother land and he carries into effect many ideas pertaining to his missionary zeal. He founds the order of missionaries, the centre of missionary formation and the association of missionary priests – The Apostolic Fraternity consisting in three sections: missionary section, retreat section and the section of printed word apostolate. He was also a pioneer of establishing an apostolic association which gathered priests, lay men and women. His missionary activity was accomplished through publications eg. Camino recto or Catecismo explicado, the first illustrated catechism in the world, which is said to be the book with the largest readership in Spain on the turn of the 19th century.
